The shift will most likely appear seamless to consumers, as an official blog post on the Tor Web site mentions that DRM-free titles will sell at the same retailers that currently sell Tor's books, and will additionally appear on DRM-free-only e-book stores.

None of these books was written with awareness of the others, and yet all three stories communicate with each other in fascinating ways.Science-fiction/fantasy publishing company Tor Books dropped a big bomb on the e-book world today by announcing plans to abolish DRM on its entire collection of e-books in early July. Written across a span of ten years, all three of these titles imagine a future for humanity that is deeply interwoven with mechanical lifeforms, disembodied intelligences, and people who embody multiple states of being. The only weird thing about this month’s freebies is they’re all apart of the same ebook file, so there’s only one file to download, and you have to manually navigate the book to get to each different ebook.

Tor’s monthly giveaways are available in both ePub and MOBI formats, and they are DRM-free so you can read them on whatever device or app that you choose (on a side note, you can now email ePubs to Kindles so MOBI files are no longer really necessary).
